Benton woman injured in multi-vehicle crash

A Benton woman was injured Monday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash.

The Marshall County Sheriff’s Department says the accident happened about 4:30 pm on Scale Road.

They say 22-year-old Andrew R. Lovett was driving west when his vehicle crossed the center line.

When he saw an eastbound vehicle driven by 63-year-old Janice K. Elliott of Benton, he could not avoid a collision.

Deputies said Lovett’s vehicle hit Elliott’s in the side, causing it to spin out of control.

Elliott was taken to Marshall County Hospital for treatment of her injuries.
